Schematic representation of the tick groups in the RNA interference experiments. Noninfected adult ticks injected with either dsIAP or dsGFP (control) were allowed to feed for 7 days on either a noninfected rabbit (set 1) or a R. rickettsii-infected rabbit (set 2). Rickettsia rickettsii-infected ticks were also injected with either dsIAP or dsGFP and allowed to feed on a noninfected rabbit (set 3). In parallel, uninfected (set 4) or R. rickettsii-infected (set 5) ticks that received dsRNAs for IAP or GFP were maintained unfed. dsGFP, double-stranded (ds) RNA for green fluorescent protein (GFP); dsIAP, double-stranded (ds) RNA for inhibitor of apoptosis protein (IAP)
